I've only been reading blogs for about a year now. Believe it or not, I had never heard of them until one of my daughters enlightened me. I quickly became addicted, and assembled a rather eclectic list of favorites that I check everyday. I have to admit, I am always a little disappointed when my favorites don't have something for me.
I guess it was only natural that I began to think of creating my own blog. The only problem with that is that I am not computer literate. I can email and I can shop but that is about it. It took all afternoon just to figure out how to register a blog and I am still quite puzzled as to why my title is not at the top of the page.
Another issue for me is quality of writing. Most of the blogs I read are very well written and have lovely photos accompanying them ( I don't expect that to happen around here for a long time). And I wonder. When other bloggers sit down to post do the words just shoot from their fingertips onto the page or do they stop and ponder and maybe agonize over the insertion of a word or phrase. Because I sure will. I am right now. This just may prove to be too slow a go for me.
This brings up another issue. Do I want others to read my blog? We all want others to be interested in what we say and feedback is a way to get that. But I bet I wouldn't like negative feedback. Something just tells me I wouldn't.
Another issue: Is there enough going on in my life to write about much less think anyone else would want to know about it? Does anyone really care to read my musings? It's kind of scary to think that your existence is so mundane that it's all you can do to post once a week. Hey! a new way to rate your life! I'm capable of multiple postings every single day. Are you?
In spite of all my issues, I think I've talked myself into at least trying this for a while. I can always quit. I find that comforting. But if you are looking for deep stuff, you'll most likely come away disappointed. I like crafting and talking about crafting, my projects, my family, my travels, and funny stuff I see or hear. Light fluffy stuff. Just like cotton candy.
